More about Match Box:

The matching process is highly intentional - come with an open mind.

If your match isn’t love at first sight, that’s okay! The algorithm is designed for long-term compatibility, so at baseline, you’ll be values-aligned.

At the end of the day, this will be a great group of single people. Enjoy meeting everyone, and remember to be kind.

Event Structure (PLEASE READ):

7:00pm - the event begins on time, bar opens, grab your complimentary drink

Q: What if I don’t get a match? A: We aim to maintain a 50/50 male to female ratio but cannot guarantee that all attendees will show up, as life happens. If there is an uneven split, some matches will be paired platonically. These people receive a free ticket to a future event of their choice, valid for 60 days after this event.

NERVOUS TO COME ALONE?

Don’t sweat it! Most people come solo and leave with new mates. Our host will keep the vibes flowing and make sure no one’s stuck in awkward silence.

🥰 Many attendees (40%) come by themselves, so even if you’re the only single in your friendship group, don’t hesitate to join us solo. You’ll find yourself in great company.

It’s like therapy… but cheaper, and with wine.
